Generalized Scrotal Edema as the First Sign of Gastric Cancer: A Case Report

Introduction: Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers capable of distant metastasis, but Scrotal and penile metastasis are very unusual, and occasionally, the initial manifestation of a latent primary tumor is even rarer. Mechanisms of gastric metastasis have been suggested through differen...
